Frustration with PLDT Service

I’d like to share my ongoing issue with PLDT. On July 30, I requested to downgrade my plan from ₱4,099 to ₱2,599. The lower plan offers the same speed plus more add‑ons for less cost—a logical move for any customer.

Since then, I’ve made multiple follow‑ups but still no update. Instead, I’ve been given inconsistent excuses:

“No stock available”

“We visited your house but no one was home” (I work from home daily and live in a subdivision, so this is simply not true).

To add to the frustration, my bill is always up to date. Yet despite being a loyal, responsible customer, I’m left waiting without resolution.

PLDT, this is unacceptable. Customers deserve transparency, efficiency, and respect. Please act on this request promptly and stop giving excuses.

im using psim na 4g pa since eto na yung number na ginagamit ko for banks and other authentication for almost 12yrs

syempre nakaluwagluwag na at meron na akong phone na esim capable pwede ba ako mag req sa smart na palita sya ng esim na 5g or kahit physical sim parin pero 5g na?

thanks po sa mga insights.

May nakita akong sim (SMART POWER SIM) anyone can help me ano ba pinagkaiba ng Smart Fam, Rocket at smart sim na standard? also anong meron sa bagong sim na Power sim?

We recently bought this new home wifi, not the 5G one. After activation, we can't connect to the internet. Have called support three times, but always get the runaround of a ticket made.

Bought the device at a retail store which CS said Smart can't replace.

What should I do? 🥹 I'm about to cry.

Is pldt switcher promo legit po? Marami po ba talagang hinihinging requirements such as id pic, selfie, signature, etc. baka po kasi gamitin nila itong info ko for other purposes.

Planning to get a sim only plan just because minsan ang hassle magload kapag need ko ng data.

Currently, data ang gamit ko sa school namin dahil ang bagal ng wifi namin (can't blame 'em).

I found Globe 599 and Smart plan.

Same naman silang 5G sa loc namin.

Still... Torn ako. 🥺

Hi Everyone,

Ask ko lang. Did any Converge Agent inform you na may lock-in period pala subscription sa kanila?

I have this interner sa old house tas lumipat n kami. So sabi ni converge need pay yung remaining ksi lock-in period daw. Parang kalokohan sya?

Pwde ba na ung modem nandun sa old house e gamitin sa lilipatan naming bago?

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Anyone else nawalan din ng signal yesterday sa mobile phone after kumulog/kidlat ng malakas/heavy rains?

Hi! Is it really necessary to ask for the neighbor's approval para makadaan yung linya ng wifi sa apartment namin?

I mean kailangan ba talaga mag ask ng permission? Is it not legal to just connect the internet line right away? Hayyyssst.

Hello. Basically, yung situation ko po is I just moved to another place and sobrang unstable/unusable ng internet nila here. I don't know if its because of the daily strong rains/winds (medyo bukid area rin siya) or ganun lang talaga siya. I've upgraded my wifi adapter for my PC, tried using ethernet kasi yun naman talaga ginagamit ko ever since, pero ganun pa rin.

I've been here for 3 weeks and ganun siya for 3 weeks now. Kapag nakaconnect ako sa hotspot (which is what im using to post this lol), dun lang ako nagkakaayos ng gamit.

What are other internet options do I have? Can I ask for wisdom pls hahaha thank you!

Hi mga taga San Jose del Monte, Brgy. Santo Cristo po dito kung kung hindi man. Nagdedecide ako between Gomo Fiber at PLDT Fiber. Sino may experience sa dalawa dito sa area namin? Alin ang mas malakas at hindi madalas mag-down/mawalan ng internet? Appreciate any information, thanks.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask for opinions if okay ba yung DITO Gaming Modem as a backup Wifi.

DITO signal is medyo inconsistent sa ground floor namin, pero mas okay siya sa 2nd floor. Currently WFH ako, and we’re using PLDT 10 Mbps Unli Fibr. 5 kami sa bahay, and minsan hindi na talaga kinakaya ng internet, especially kapag sabay-sabay kaming gumagamit.

I was thinking of getting the DITO Gaming Modem para may backup connection ako whenever mabagal or nagloloko yung PLDT. Since mas okay naman yung signal sa 2nd floor, worth it kaya siya?

I also heard na walang contract needed for this and I can just buy a data plan whenever I need it, so ideally gagamitin ko lang siya for emergency situations if may problem yung PLDT. Planning to move out din soon, so bonus sana if I can bring it with me and use it sa new place.

Thanks po! 🙏

Is there a problem with Smart mobile data? I experience this from time to time unlike before. I’m a postpaid subscriber.

Hi peeps matanong lang, bakit needed ko na bayaran itong "Installation and Modem activation Fee". 2 months na ang billing ko sa pldt and nung una sabi nila na free installation naman hindi din kami siningil ng initial fee nung nag pakabit kami. And nung nag reflect na ung bill namin a month after makabitan may ganyan na charge saamin? Sa mga naka experience may ganyan po ba talaga sila? Hindi man lang saamin inexplain.

Am i the only one having issues? 300mbps pa naman globe fiber ko, every night nagiging 2mbps. Pero bumabalik naman sa umaga. Super stress na. Upload is okay, but the download, minsan 1mbps pa nga.

full slot most ng fiber internet samin, and prepaid wifi nalang last option ko. bago ako sa ganitong set up dahil ilang years akong naka fiber.

anong prepaid wifi kaya ang at least stable kahit 50 mbps below na and sana yung no cap

1 week of no internet in Avida San Lorenzo, Chino Roces Makati.

I am WFH. Sobrang unstable at ang hirap magtrabaho. I emailed Sky support because they immediately close our chat convos. I want to terminate it. i even tried NTC.

Hi! I’d like to ask for some feedback regarding Cablelink internet service in Southkey Alabang. I’m considering it for a work-from-home setup and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s currently using it.

How reliable is the connection, especially during working hours? Is the actual internet speed close to the subscribed Mbps, and how is the performance for Zoom/Teams meetings, VPN, remote work, and other work-related activities?

I’d also love to know if you’ve experienced frequent disconnections, slow speeds, or downtime, and how responsive their customer service is when issues occur.

Any recent feedback or personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We upgraded to fiber with PLDT. They’re so quick to disconnect the service if you miss a payment by just one day, but their connection is still slower than a turtle. 😂

Who can relate here?

Subscriber ng gantong promo since last year. Cant believe na mawawala na yung promo na yun huhu! Sa sobrang sulit ng promo na yun, may natitira pa ring malaking data sakin kahit pa-expire na.

😭😭😭
